Since the Witztum, Rips and Rosenberg ( WRR ) paper was published, two conflicting schools of thought regarding the " codes " have emerged among proponents.

In the late seventies, Rips began looking with the help of a computer for codes in the Torah.

The mathematical probability for several coded words which are related to occur within the same area of the Bible was calculated by Rips to be enormously greater than chance, though mathematicians with formal training in statistical analysis place this figure at 1: 2.

Nevertheless, the practice remained known only to a few until the early 1980s, when some discoveries of an Israeli school teacher Avraham Oren came to the attention of the mathematician Eliyahu Rips at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Rips then took up the study together with his religious studies partners Doron Witztum and Alexander Rotenberg, and several others.

Rips and Witztum designed computer software for the ELS technique and subsequently found many examples.

When Rips et al.

Witztum and Rips also performed other experiments, most of them successful, though none were published in journals.

Similarly, the authors quote a 1985 lecture by Eliyahu Rips, in which he describes the appellation selection process as taking " every possible variant that we considered reasonable ", and makes no mention of Havlin or an independent expert.
